*** One Paragraph Pitch:
An IABC Accredited Business Communicator (ABC), my strategic communication planning and tactics helped turnaround a challenged $3 billion project for the U.S. Government – eliminating the world’s single-largest stockpile of aging, deteriorating chemical weapons under the provisions of an international treaty. Now, after 17 years working as the defense contractor’s internal/external communication professional, our mission successfully has been completed, we’re closing the project and I’m ready to bring my skills and energy to your company to engage employees, customers and other stakeholders to achieve business objectives. Formerly I worked 18 years in broadcast journalism, mostly as a TV news reporter and anchor. That also gives your corporate media relations program a shot in the arm; but we’ll also target employees and other audiences with compelling stories and other wanted and needed information to drive performance improvement. My master’s degree in communication research ensures your pegging performance needle will be accurately measured, at the same time identifying any gaps where strategic tweaks will produce additional positive effects. I’m looking forward to talking with you about what we can do. Please e-mail me at markmesesan@outlook.com.
Thanks,
Mark

Mornin’ Cap’n Ned! I’m on AT supporting NATO HQ. Would you consider sharing the new Afghanistan website: Return to Hope – it’s very cool but a tough sell.

*** Out for Blood
The pursuit of life for the wounded on the fighting fronts of World War II
by Anastasia Kirby Lundquist
Blood and plasma may be the greatest gift of the “Greatest Generation”-their life’s blood given back at home for the wounded on the fighting front. They sent more than a million pints to war! And we will never know how many men and women walk the world today – or will do so in generations to come – because the life of a father or grandfather was saved by one of those gifts of a blood donor during World War II.
A radio show called Life to the Front, broadcast weekly over WEEI, the Columbia Broadcasting System’s New England network outlet in Boston, helped keep alive the connection between the home front and the fighting fronts.
Each week the broadcast was dedicated “To all the men of the armed forces of the United States… who – on every fighting front in the world – daily risk their lives in the service of their country……that they might live.”
Out for Blood includes first-hand accounts of actual participants in some of the war’s toughest battles, and features actual scripts from Life to the Front.
